Hi I’m Shino, I’m 15 years old and I was born in Tokyo, Japan, but I grew up in Shanghai. I have lived here since I was 6 years old, so I have studied at school in Shanghai until now but I hope to study in New Zealand for high school. I love listening to music and dancing, and I love animals especially dogs. My favourite subject at school is English because I think it is very fun and interesting. At my Japanese school in China, we study very simple English so I really want to learn daily spoken English because I think it is more useful for me, so I want to go to New Zealand.

competition – bi sai

have you ever joined a competition?
